(Rhi) What is the issue/law?

Brown
On May 17, 1954, the Court ruled that "separate but equal" public schools for blacks and whites were unconstitutional. The Brown case opened the doors for the modern civil rights movement, inspiring education reform across the country and forming the legality of segregation in all areas of society. This case showed that all people deserve the best education available to them, which included having black students taught by more educated teachers, which at the time were mostly white Americans.

Title IX
Title IX is a federal civil right that does not allow for sex discrimination in education. Title IX is not just about letting women play sports. It addresses discrimination against pregnant and parenting students and women in STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math) programs. It also addresses sexual harassment, gender-based discrimination, and sexual violence. Sexual violence includes attempted or completed rape or sexual assault, as well as sexual harassment, stalking, voyeurism, exhibitionism, verbal or physical sexuality-based threats or abuse, and intimate partner violence.

(Miranda) What implication did it have on public education at that time?

Both Title IX and Title XI give equal rights to both females, and people of different color and backgrounds. This includes all things such as: admissions, recruitment, financial aid, academic programs, student treatment and services, counseling and guidance, discipline, classroom assignment, grading, vocational education, recreation, physical education, athletics, housing and employment, if it affects those who are intended to benefit from the Federal funds pregnant and parenting teens' rights, gender-based violence, and athletics.
Before this point: They were not allowed to go to certain schools use the same equipment, take the same classes, go to college, play sports, or have any of the same opportunities that white men had.

The Civil Rights Act of 1964 was not the first attempt by Congress to pass sweeping legislation aimed at ending discrimination.



Not a single case of discrimination among male or female was referred since in was enacted in 1972, but there was 416 complaints to civil rights between 2002 and 2006


A recent article in the New York Times found that there are lasting benefits for women from Title IX: participation in sports increased education as well as employment opportunities for girls. Furthermore, the athletic participation by girls and women spurred by Title IX was associated with lower obesity rates. No other public health program can claim similar success.
In 1994, women received 38% of medical degrees, compared with 9% in 1972.
In 1994, women earned 43% of law degrees, compared with 7% in 1972.
In 1994, 44% of all doctoral degrees to U.S. citizens went to women, up from 25% in 1977.
